Oven Fried Panko Crusted Chicken

I’m always thinking of ways to keep food delish and light, and this was my attempt at lightening up one of hubby’s favorite foods, fried chicken! He’s a big fan of the Colonel, so I had to come up with a recipe that rivals the delicious crunch, juiciness and flavor of those fast food chicken places. This crunchtastic oven fried panko crusted chicken definitely hits the spot, he even went back for seconds! This recipe captures it all…crunchy, zesty “fried” chicken, without the grease and guilt! Try this recipe next time you’re looking for a fried chicken fix without the grease stains on your jeans.

I made this last night, and woooooow!!! My girlfriend who just loves fried foods said I never have to make pan fried anything anymore… she and I both loved it.. will try this process on chops as well as steak and maybe even some veggies!!!! Thanks!

You can freeze them uncooked after you bread them, just freeze them on a baking sheet and then store them frozen. When you want to cook them you can pop them into the oven straight from the freezer. Just add 50% more cooking time to the original recipe.
